Utah: By Region

Northern Utah

This is our mountainous land, and our mountains are the Wasatch Range. It is sewn in the fertile soils and planted with the orchards. The First Transcontinental Railroad met here. And speaking of travelers of a different kind, millions of migrating birds, the phases of the moon and the wilder things are all tucked away at high elevations. The cities are base camps.

Wasatch Front

It’s here that the desert basin ends and the mountains begin. Here, that the artists, dancers, musicians and chefs draw inspiration from the drama of the surrounding landscape. The Rocky Mountains frame the Wasatch Front with a 6,000-foot wall of granite and limestone: bedrock that gave rise to Salt Lake’s historic architecture. Travel freely between city and summit.

Southwestern Utah

In Utah's desert southwest, ecosystems collide and give rise to ecologies that haunt the imagination. Mythology is born in these rocks and breathes whimsy into already supernatural geology: monoliths, hoodoos, slots, dunes and cones. You are a living thing with an awareness heightened by the sheer sublimity of this place. You reach for physical heights only to peer into the spaces where time writes its stories. You feel yourself becoming part of a longer story, told by Father Time.

Southeastern Utah

The landscape unfolds as you move across its slickrock landscapes. When you walk, you feel the sandstone layers beneath your feet. When you drive, you flow over plateaus and memories start to collect at the foot of wild geology. Stories build on the heels of fellow travelers and in the footsteps of explorers and the land's first cultures now all but lost to time.

Salt Lake City isn't your regular ski town. It's the only Ski City. Big city amenities support 10 different resorts within an hour of SLC International, which means the best in downhill meets the best in downtown.
